I received the following comments from Michael. I'm not sure if he is prepared to carry on with this, or whether we need someone to work on it with him, once we are ready.
RCAAA: New NFP Act needs to be transitioned into first because a review of our constitution is a part of the process (if we apply for RCAAA first, then, after the transition, we would undergo another review…waste of time). RCAAA is a last-ditch effort at restoring our charitable status – it is optional. Not especially complicated – I worked on compiling the required information through Gerry previously, so we should be good to go in relatively short order, if we decide to press forward.
